Aliyu Insists Amaechi Defeated Jang .


Niger State Governor and Chairman of
Northern States Governors Forum,NSGF
Babangida Aliyu has insisted that the
outcome of the Nigerian Governors Forum
election that returned Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Ameachi as the winner of
the election remains valid.
Aliyu said the Governors Forum conducted
an election which produced a winner and
some of the governors stand by the result.
Fielding question from journalists after the
regular quarterly meeting of Northern States
Governors Forum held today at General
Hassan Katsina State House, Kaduna, Aliyu
maintained that there was no division among
the northern governors over the election.
Though he acknowledged that there was an
election that was later rocked by crisis, he
believed the problem would be solved with
time.
However, P.M.News gathered that out of the
five governors that attended the meeting ,
three of them, Jigawa , Niger and Nasarawa
states were pro-Ameachi while the other
two; those of Kaduna and Gombe were pro-
Jang.
A source told P.M.News that Kaduna
governor, Mukhtar Yero was compelled to
attend because he was the host and Gombe
State governor that attended was absent
during the NGF meeting so he was neutral.
It was also gathered that Plateau State
Governor, Jonah Jang and other pro -Jang
supporters refused to attend the meeting on
grounds that chairman of the NSGF,
Governor Aliyu betrayed them during the
election that later divided the governors.

Usain Bolt beaten by Justin Gatlin in 100m in Rome.

US sprinter Justin Gatlin beat six-time Olympic
champion Usain Bolt in the men's 100 metres
race at the Rome Golden Gala, Diamond
League, which took place yesterday. Justin beat
Usain by one-hundredth of a second, that's
like 1% of a second. Justin actually had to dip
his head over the line to win in 9.94 seconds.
Usain came in 9.95.
Usain was making his first appearance in the
Diamond League this season since his recent
recovery from a hamstring injury. Usain
explained what happened to him:
"I got the perfect start that I wanted, then
about five steps in I stumbled a bit and
that kind of threw my game off. My legs
didn't feel like my legs coming into the
straight. I guess I need to do more
strength work. I think I just need time to
get it back together but the fact I got a
good start threw me off. At least I got
under 10 seconds.
"It is always a good thing to lose. You can
figure how to step it up. I knew I wasn't in
great shape but I'm not worried. It takes
time to get back into shape and I didn't
expect much from this race."
Usain's next race will be in the men's 200m in
next Thursday's Diamond League meeting in
Oslo.
